How about a doggy collar for when your car is still running, and you get too far away from it!

I'm assuming that the Venn diagram shows significant overlap. Are reality TV "stars"/contestants, Federal Government employees, and the people who spam message boards with stories about how their best friend's mom makes millions using one simple secret method, subsets of one or hybrids?That just jogged my memory, there are three classes of people left in the US not two, Uber drivers, personal injury lawyers, and drug addicts.
OK, so there's maybe a 4th class, Alpha Imbeciles, and 3rd generation crack babies, plus people with birth deformities which render them incapable of doing anything else but walking up to somebody and unavoidably shaking their hand, while giving them their political flyer.I'm assuming that the Venn diagram shows significant overlap.

Once upon a time, much earlier in the Pleistocene, (when I was a boy), we used to have manual starter solenoids. You would put your foot on the gas pedal, and angle it over to the "solenoid" activation pedal, which jammed the starter drive into the flywheel while closing the battery contacts causing the starter motor to run. One can only imagine the litigation that would produce today. Then, there was a more advanced system which featured a simple key switch, SPST, which supplied power to the car. Then, on the dash, was a momentary contact SP push button switch, which, when pressed, engaged the starter solenoid. So, today's cars are simply, "back to the future" offerings, with far more attractive imitation chrome plastic push buttons.on their dashboards. (Our push button starter switches were the same as the ones used in guitar stomp boxes).I'm wondering what level of indolence is required to not take a second or two turning off an automobiles engine.
Forget the tasteful cabin accents. Next years models' upholstery will feature a broad expanse of tamper-proof legal disclaimer and warning stickers
Yes! They should build a feature that reads the minds of the individuals, to know if they intend to just leave, or if they plan to return to their car after they shut the garage door with it running. And then, if that doesn't work, we can just install a button for them to turn off... oh wait... nevermind.
How about the same technology that it uses for starting it when it's X meters from the car, when the key gets out of a certain range it shuts down, it doesn't take to be Einstein to figure a logic solution.
Now you made me think of a different solution, when a smarty like you comes into techspot to be "smart" to have a feature to read minds and lock themselves out of posting, that would be awesomely neat.
It doesn't matter what you think or believe, it needs to have a failsafe, period.
I think that's why there's a "hot coffee" warning on sold coffee cups such as at McDonalds because they got sued when someone spilled coffee on themselves and was burned. Absolute ridiculous...It just seems like some people can't take responsibility for their own inadequacies.
"What! your coffee was hot when they gave it to you? Who would have thought that!"
Because some nimrods can't apply common sense, we all have to be treated like knuckle draggers.
